The 2017 Richebourg Grand Cru sports an intense nose of mulberry, dark plum, sous-bois, fern and incense. This is complex and involving, and quite mercurial in the glass. Returning to the wine after 15 minutes, it develops a subtle minty aroma. The palate is velvety-smooth with enormous depth. A little more lush than its peers, it offers extremely pure red cherries, wild strawberry and blood orange toward a dried blood and spicebox-tinged finish that fans out gloriously. Just a wonderful wine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, January 2022)

This was straight fire. A more masculine Pinot with so much substance, tension and depth. Tannins are still very present but I'm not sure if they'll be more soft in 5-10 years. Strong finish.

Full but restrained if that makes sense. Concentrated with much to give - latent power. Lots of spice with rich black and blue fruits and polished tannins. Perfume on the palate - unusual in my experience. My equally top pointed wine in this bracket of 6 at 98 points.
